The survey inside the Gyanvapi mosque located next to the iconic Kashi Vishwanath temple will continue and the report needs to be submitted by May 17, the court hearing the matter said today afternoon. The court in Varanasi also added two advocates to the survey commission.
The court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) Ravi Kumar Diwakar, which had also heard the matter relating to the opening of the two basements located inside the mosque complex for videography, delivered the verdict after hearing the arguments of both the sides.
The Gyanvapi mosque management committee had filed an application seeking a replacement of court official Ajay Kumar Mishra, who was assigned to do the survey, claiming he was not impartial.
